"The southeast of Tongguan is Qilin Mountain, the mountain is the city wall, the city wall is the mountain wall, the foot is the deep ditch, and the layout is strict. Even if you cross the five-mile official road, whether it is soldiers and horses or baggage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to bypass the city wall to the south of Tongguan. The soldiers and horses could not be set aside, and the siege was still useless. Now the general asks you, which battalion is willing to take the enemy? Which battalion is the second enemy? ”

Duoduo's voice echoed above everyone's heads, but no one dared to raise their heads. The so-called first enemy and second enemy are the military terms of this era, that is, the troops that launched the first wave of attacks and the troops that attacked in the second wave. However, these generals are not blind, on the opposite side of the Dashun army's position, the dense artillery forts, pillboxes, like spider webs crisscrossing the trenches, with artificial hard cutting of more than a zhang, ordinary people can not cross the cliff, which one is easy to deal with? The head enemy? That is to fight with life and human heads! Go and make a bloody way for the troops behind.

"What? No one wants to? How do you show off in front of this king on a daily basis? Duoduo was a little angry, although his voice was not loud, but everyone could hear that this Prince Yu was really angry.

"Back to the words of the prince! The slave Sun is willing to be the head enemy! In the ranks of the white flag, Sun Degong stood up proudly and saluted Duoduo's handsome case.

"Good! In the end, it's my two white flag soldiers! Sure enough, I didn't embarrass your master! Seeing that Sun Dequan, who was Melerzhangjing, asked for battle first, and it was from his two white flag subordinates, Duoduo suddenly turned his anger into joy.

Sun Degong is not only a person under the white flag, but also a person under the white flag. It has to do with his origins. He was the group of people who surrendered during the Liaodong period. In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, fought in the guerrilla of the Chinese army, Wang Huazhen relied on the merit as his henchman, Nurhachi besieged Xipingbao, Liu Qu and others went to help, and the merit was followed. Qu and others died in battle, Sun Degong paid money to Nurhachi, and said that the division had been thin, and the city people were defeated. Wang Huazhen walked into the customs, won the merit and entered, Shaozhen, Guozhi, etc., led the people out of the city to look at Changgang in the east of the city, with the public opinion, set up drum music, held the flag and covered it, and welcomed Nurhachi into the governor's office, and the people all fell down and shouted long live. This is the third year of the Apocalypse, that is, the first month of the seventh year of Nurhachi's Mandate. From this period on, he was a slave under the white flag, and it was not until Huang Taiji compiled the Han military flag that he transferred from the white flag to the white flag of the Han army. However, they still belong to the minions of the Dorgon brothers.

Speaking of him, everyone is not very familiar with him, except for his successful role as an undercover agent in the Battle of Guangning, killing Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, two governors, and giving thousands of miles of land, hundreds of thousands of people, and millions of stones and countless treasures to Nurhachi in western Liaoxi, he has not left a heavy trace in history. However, his second son, I believe many readers know. It is one of Lord Wei's sworn brothers, Sun Sike, who is known as the Four Han generals of Hexi in Qing history.

In a certain coat, Sun Sike is the deputy general of Yunnan, because he is not Wu Sangui's descendant, he was squeezed out. Actually, two words, nonsense. In the second year of Kangxi, Sun Sike was already the general soldier of Gansu, and in the fifth year of Kangxi, he defeated the Erlute Mongol tribe who were ready to migrate to the Dacaotan nomadic tribe in Dingqiang Temple, and built a border wall in the area from Xishuiguan to Jiayuguan in Biandukou, so that all the Erlute Mongol tribes grazing on the border moved away. Later, Sun Sike inspected all the dangers and passes in Nanshan, divided the troops and defended them, and restrained military discipline, selected generals, eliminated redundant soldiers, verified food and salary, and other merits, and was informed of the imperial court by Lu Chongjun, the governor of Shanxi, and added Sun Sike as the governor of the right capital. Let's ask, at this time, he is the official position of the chief soldier and the right governor, and he has the post of Manchuria, how can he go to Yunnan to be a deputy general? !

In addition to the familiar military exploits in quelling the rebellion of the three feudatories, Sun Sike also made great achievements in quelling the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the northwest, such as Galdan and others in the Dzungar Department of Mongolia. In the first battle of Zhao Moduo, Galdan was defeated and fled, chasing for more than 30 miles. Even Galdan's wife, Annu, was killed in the battle.

"Snowflakes are like bloody battle robes, seizing the Yellow River as a manger. Destroy my name, the king, capture me, make songs, I want to go without camels. Woohoo, north of the Yellow River! Woohoo, south of the Beidou! This is a tragic and desolate song sung by an old musician who is good at playing the kite and flute in the Dzungar Department after being captured, at the celebration banquet held by Kangxi, and it can be seen from the lyrics: The Dzungar Department led by Galdan tried to expand southward after occupying the three Khalkha tribes in Mobei and drank the Yellow River, and also reflected the tragic situation of the Galdan elite and the end of the road under the heavy losses of the Battle of Zhaomoduo. If it weren't for such a merit, his son Sun Chengyun would not have been an official to the rank of minister, and he would have taken the first-class Asihani Hafan, married Kangxi's daughter Princess Heshuo Yujing, and became the only one of Han origin in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

(It seems to be far away again, and if you continue to talk about it, it is estimated that someone should scold the author for being a clear fan.) Let's turn back and talk about the battle in Tongguan! ）

"Sun Degong, you are now the official position of Meler Zhangjing, and this king is now promoting you to the Zhengbai Banner Han Army Gushan Ezhen! In this battle in front of you, no matter whether you can break through the defense line of the thieves or not, after entering the Guanzhong, your family can choose a good land in the Guanzhong and circle fifty miles! The fields, houses, forests, ponds, cows, horses, and people are all yours! It's a reward from this king! ”

Such a reward is not insignificant. Just because Sun Degong stood up to ask for war first, Duoduo added his official position, and no matter what the result of the battle was, he could occupy the land when he entered the pass, which immediately made the eyes of the people present red.

"General! Rajah! The master is generous, and the slave does not dare to accept it! The slave only asked the prince for permission, and ordered the slave to go with his father! Sun Sike, who was standing beside Duoduo and acting as a guard, stepped forward, knelt beside his father and asked Duoduo to go with Sun Degong.

At this time, Sun Sike was a young man with a weak crown, wearing a suitable armor, and he looked very energetic.

"Good! Fight tiger brothers and go into battle, father and son soldiers! General Ben was even younger than you now, and he also went to the battlefield with Emperor Taizu! Patting his shoulders and praising Sun Sike a few words, Duoduo turned around and looked at everyone, his eyes full of disdain, "Look at the father and son!" Look at you guys again! ”

"Back to the prince! The subordinates are willing to lead the people of the department to follow Lord Sun's father and son! ”

"The subordinates are willing to go!"

The two soldiers jumped up almost simultaneously and asked for battle from Dodor.

"Cao Zhenyan!"

"The minions are here!"

"The 10,000 spearmen of your headquarters and the artillery team of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion will all be handed over to you for command, and you will come to suppress the position of Sun Degong and his son!"

The two sides mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses, and the battle of Tongguan between the two families of Shunqing kicked off on the defense line of more than 20 miles long in Yuanwanggou. From the air, the entire Yuanwang ditch was shrouded in smoke, and through the smoke, a sea of ants loomed below.

The sea of people poured down from the top of the hill and down the ditch like a flood to fill the upper hill, but they were held back by the toil of the various defensive lines between the hills, and the raging tide was dissipated by strong dikes.

At the same time that the Yuanwanggou side attacked fiercely and the Shun army resisted stubbornly, more than 2,000 Qing cavalry came out from the Jinshu Pass, one tried to see if it could be snooped, and even attacked the northeast two sides of Tongguan, and the other was also to contain the strength and firepower of the Shun army's defense.

The Qing army, which controlled Niutouyuan, bombarded the line of Jinqiao Pass and Dongchengmen with the heavy artillery of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion as the main firepower.

Under the cover and suppression of the heavy artillery fire of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, the five-mile road from Jinqiao Pass to the East City Gate was as dangerous as walking on the ground for the Qing army.

Sun Degong and Sun Sike led more than 2,000 Manchurian cavalry of the Eight Banners to ride horses and walk on this pipeline, and the sound of rumbling hooves was like thunder. Behind the cavalry team were the soldiers and horses of the two general soldiers, and there were more than 10,000 people.

On the Niutou Plain, Cao Zhenyan's handsome banner and weaving gold dragon silk fluttered on the artillery battalion position. Behind the position where the artillery team was placed, 10,000 gunmen lined up neatly, and the weather was solemn. They are ready to attack at any time, as long as the Sun family's father and son and the soldiers and horses of the two general soldiers fight with the Shun army, Cao Zhenyan will bombard the Shun army's soldiers and horses and barracks with heavy artillery and guns. It was Cao Zhenyan himself, who also moved forward with the handsome banner and the spearmen.

Although it is said to be the head enemy, after all, it is the Eight Banners' own people, and the task of the Sun family's father and son is actually to supervise the battle and reserves. The main force is still the soldiers and horses of the two general soldiers. However, Duoduo also made a heavy promise to these two people, promoted to become wealthy, and his wife and son were among them.

Sun Sike and his son led more than 2,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners to gallop on the official road, and the rumbling hooves echoed in the mountains, shaking people's ears to rumble, as if there was constantly thunder exploding in their ears. The cavalry rushed to the front of Yuanwanggou before stopping. This is the starting position of the Qing army before the attack. Not far from the ditch is Qilin Mountain, because the city wall and the east gate tower are built on the mountain, completely within the range of the Shun army's artillery fire, so, the Shun army did not set up a defensive line fortification at the east entrance of the Yuanwanggou, but only put a few outposts.

Sun Sike reined in the horse's head and signaled Jialazhangjing behind him to give the order, and the cavalry stopped advancing and waited for the two general soldiers behind to come up. Taking advantage of this gap, Sun Degong and Sun Sike, father and son, began to carefully observe the position of the Dashun army in front of them. The city wall of Tongguan winds along the mountain-shaped terrain, and the front is the east gate of Tongguan, Ying'en Gate. This city gate is built on the Qilin Mountain, the city head hangs the handsome flag of Wushan Bo Ma Shiyao, the city is densely packed with the banner of the Dashun army, the horse is listed with countless artillery and city defense equipment and materials, looking at it from afar, this Tongguan is condescending like a dragon and a tiger. Not far from the loess slope is the Yellow River, and the turbid waves are surging to the east.

"Sure enough, it's a dangerous place!" Sun Degong has also been fighting for many years, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little hesitant and timid, but at this time, he could not be allowed to retreat timidly. Seeing that the two commanders had already led the team, they didn't say much, just waved their hands and ordered the attack to begin.

The flag waved in the hands of the commander-in-chief, and a guerrilla led his strange battalion out of the formation and went straight to Yuanwanggou, and the guerrilla's offensive route was probably to rush out of Yuanwanggou along the pipeline, and then rush to the top of the ditch. Gradually seize the Dashun military fortifications there.

Followed by a general, the two of them attacked in different directions, one was to Ying'en Gate and a group of arrow towers, pillboxes, artillery forts, etc. around Ying'en Gate as the core, and that general, his soldiers and horses were preparing to follow the gentle slope path along the ditch under Qilin Mountain to see if they could go around to the south gate of Tongguan.

Sun Sike, who was observing the attack on the hill, was still sweating in his hands holding the monoculars in the freezing weather. It's not uncomfortable to slip through wool gloves. In the mirror tube, the flags of the guerrillas and generals were very conspicuous and eye-catching in the undulating waves of the crowd.

"I hope they can do it!" Sun Sike was young in the end, and his battlefield experience was not enough, so he folded his hands and prayed for a smooth attack.

"Humph! How can it be so cheap! Li thief is not simple! Sun Degong expressed disdain for his second son's youthful and naïve ideas. Judging from his experience in dealing with Li Zicheng's Dashun army for more than a year, the Dashun army was not as easy to deal with as the Ming army he encountered when he entered the customs and plundered. "Wait and see, these two battalions are just afraid that they will be thrown in!" However, he could only say this to his son silently in his heart, but he couldn't make it public in public.

As if to prove that his judgment was correct, just when the guerrilla and the general were leading their men out of the ditch and preparing to divide their troops to attack, in the trenches on the dirt slopes on the plateau, someone suddenly blew a sharp suona and rushed straight into the clouds.

With this sound, countless heads and flags suddenly appeared in the trench!

I heard the beep of the hill, the black smoke and flames fluttered, and countless lighted bales of straw were thrown out of the trench by the soldiers of the Shun army and rolled down the hillside. From time to time, the shouts and curses of the soldiers of the Dashun Army were heard from the trenches: "The weather is cold! First of all, bake a fire for you tartars, and warm up! ”

The mountain road was already narrow, and the two battalions of men and horses were gathered in one place, and these many fire balls were thrown down from the hillside and rolled into the crowd, and suddenly the formation was in chaos, and the officers and men began to scurry and scream in the smoke and firelight.

The firelight is the best beacon! In addition to using cheap wheat straw as a weapon to kill and injure the Qing army, wheat straw also had a function. That is, to guide the artillery deployed on the hillside.

The Dashun artillery guns, which had already calculated various shooting distances, were adjusted by the gunners to adjust the muzzle angle and the height of the gun body, and measured the distance through the measuring ruler, and the loaders fiercely stuffed the medicine bag and solid shells into the barrel.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

More than a dozen artillery forts on the hillside began to fire shells at the Qing troops in the fire at the mouth of the ditch.

The artillery team is condescending, and under the dual action of the driving force and altitude advantage of gunpowder, the lethality effect can be imagined. More than a dozen six-pounder shells and 10-pounder shells fired by the Big Buddha Franc machine poured down like mudslides in the chaotic and noisy ranks of the Qing army. Several shells smashed down the hillside, blowing up countless clods of dirt and dust, making it even more chaotic in the smoke.

The sound of cannons rumbled, and the smoke and dust filled the air, so that Sun Sike and his son could not observe the situation at the mouth of the ditch, and could only vaguely hear the screams and wails of their own men and horses, thinking that there were constantly people and horses of their own people who were hit by cannonballs and burned by the flames. The mountains are high, the cannons are fierce, the wind is strong, as long as the people and horses are hit by cannonballs and burned by the flames, it is the fate of scorched flesh, broken tendons, broken hands and feet.

The sound of artillery continued, and a few figures vaguely appeared at the mouth of the ditch in Yuanwanggou, covered in smoke, and there were remnants of sparks on the cotton armor in several places. But the defeated soldiers of the two battalions fled back. Before the general soldier could speak, Sun Sike gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "What is Prince Yu's military order?" How to sit! If one person retreats, he will kill the whole armor! These people have retreated, who should be killed? ”

As soon as these words came out, the general soldier Qiu, who had originally planned to plead for his subordinates, suddenly turned earthy, trembled all over, and hurriedly hid aside and did not dare to speak again.

"You! Bring people over, these death-fearing ghosts have been really cut down on Bengu Mountain! With the right military law! Sun Degong also had a ruthless face.

The Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was ordered by Sun Degong, was even more a demon who killed people without blinking, and immediately led more than 200 people to rush to the mouth of the ditch, wielding knives and guns to chop melons and vegetables, and generally correct these dozens of frightened defeated officers and soldiers on the spot.

Another group of people, according to the order of the young master Sun Sike, placed the defensive equipment carried by the general, the rejecting horse, at the mouth of the ditch, leaving only a passage for a large cart to enter and exit. On both sides of the passage, the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers are guarding the side with knives and guns in their hands.

"That one dares to take a step back! That's the example! Sun Sike, who rushed down from the plateau on horseback, had murderous anger in his eyes, pointed to the dozens of bloody and blurred human heads hanging on the horse, and scolded the defeated soldiers in the ditch in the distance who hesitated and did not dare to advance and could not retreat.

Retreating, it is the sword and gun of the war team, it is a certain death, and after death, there is no compensation for dying in vain. Forward, there may still be a glimmer of life, even if he is dead, there is still a pension. These officers and soldiers hesitated a little, whether to turn over and kill back or rush to the ditch to push the rejected horses away and escape? Just like when I was in the Ming Army?

"The Progressor is born! Kill the retreater! ”

Sun Sike grasped the opportunity very well and ordered people to shout slogans. As a result, these defeated soldiers could only turn their heads indiscriminately, and rushed to the Shun army positions on the hill and hillside with their swords and guns.

As soon as the team advances, the rear immediately sets up a horse rejection to cut off the retreat path of the troops, indicating that there is advance but no retreat, and there is death and no life. This is Sun Sike's strong personal style of tactics, in the battle of Zhao Moduo, it is this way to deal with the core elite of Galdan who has always followed him after hundreds of miles of defeat and retreat for the rest of his life, and defeated the elite of Lord Wei's sworn brother.

(Huh?) Why does it seem that both sides are Lord Wei's brothers? It's a bit confusing! between brothers? It's the same as the principal's Central Plains War?! ）
